Be sure to stay tuned in to the end of the chart...Kris adds some clever harmonic and rhythmic movement that wraps up the chart with a flourish.

This swing chart by tenor saxophonist Mark Colby tips its hat to the classic Miles Davis tune All Blues. Doug Doug Beach's arrangement for medium level groups frames the tune with influences from both Davis and Mark's own improvised lines. While the chart has plenty of full ensemble work, there is also an open solo section (written or ad lib) that will provide a great showcase for your soloists. Duration 4:37. Available in SmartMusic.

First Impressions draws inspiration from such classic albums as Miles Davis's So What and John Coltrane's Impressions. Use this chart to introduce your students to the relaxed swing feeling of an important era of jazz history. Expert scoring enables your horns and rhythm section to achieve the dynamic balance, clarity, and bounce that are essential to the style. Flexible orchestration allows it to be played by as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.
